Readme

Share only the relevant part of an ebay Kleinanzeigen article without the unnecessary description, hashtags and url tracking parameters.

Setup & Usage

1. Download and install the Scriptable app for iOS.
2. Setup a new so called script inside the app and paste the code from above into it.
3. Go to an ebay Kleinanzeigen article, enter the sharesheet, select "run script" and press on your newly created script. DONE.

Example

The default output if you want to share/copy an article from the ebay Kleinanzeigen iOS app is the following:

Gerade bei #eBayKleinanzeigen gefunden. Wie findest du das?
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/<ARTICLE_NAME>/<ARTICLE_ID>?utm_source=copyToPasteboard&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_medium=social&utm_content=app_ios

We turn it into just a simple link:

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/<ARTICLE_NAME>/<ARTICLE_ID>
